Yesterday, I wrote about my crazy-intelligent special needs kid. Today, I have a post on Aiming Low about having crushes on girls.
It’s a wonder the kid was birthed from my loins.
20 years from now at some very important smarty pants convention speech deal:
“Hello, friends. My name is Anna, and I’m here to talk to you about rockets and/or science and/or writing novels and/or historical referencing in recent artwork mediums. I’d like to thank my mom for her years of encouragement.
“What does my mother do, you ask? She’s a big deal on the internet who got her start writing about having unstable crushes on old movie stars. No, I don’t know how I came to be so intelligent, but I know it has nothing to do with her ability to name her bowel movements.”
……..
I like to think of myself as special. She’ll think of me as “succeeding despite her upbringing.”

Ya, I always wonder what my kids will say about me. I know what I say about my mom so I’m a bit scared.
But don’t sell yourself short. Babies are made from the best genes…those smart genes have to be yours.

This post should be in my blog. I used to think I was smart…until I met my kids
An Awesome post on Skye´s blog … early morning ramblings from an insomniac
My kids are so not impressed with my awesome super-power. I can watch a movie and recall what other films the actors were in. I recently watched “Hook” for the third time (my daughter begged) and recognized Professor McGonagall from Harry Potter. Everything I’ve done for them, that is probably what they will remember me for.
Clearly then, she came from me! Hahahahaha…

Thank goodness my husband is wicked smart, because I wouldn’t want them to turn out all dumbass like me.
“succeeding despite her upbringing” Yeah, I can say that about a few of my kids. At least, I hope one day I can.

Are you kidding. You’re kid will be wicked smart… AND well grounded, funny, a Star War nerd, fierce hockey fan, and a total sweetheart.
She will have your sense of humor and love for her friends… what’s not to look up to?

I have a feeling my children will be giving similar thank you speeches in their future, so I definitely understand the feeling. Heck, my 13 year old could probably give a speech like that *right now* with his math and science wizkid abilities.
Thanks for me smile this afternoon, I really needed it!
Hey, everyone’s got a skill or two to brag about. Hers are just flashier than yours.

Trust me, it could be worse. I’d just tell her, you’re so smart you don’t need to brag about it…instead you can have fun blogging about whatever you want…even if it is bowel movements…heck, Gastroenterologists make a living out of it and most of them are pretty smart : )
